What is Chickenpox?

Chickenpox is a contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It mostly affects children but can also happen in adults. The main symptom is red, itchy spots or blisters that appear on the skin. These blisters usually start on the face, chest, or back and then spread to other parts of the body. Other symptoms can include fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, and headache. Chickenpox is spread through contact with the blisters or by breathing in droplets from coughing or sneezing. It’s important to avoid scratching the blisters because it can cause scars or lead to a skin infection. Most people recover from chickenpox in about 1 to 2 weeks. There is a vaccine available to prevent chickenpox, which is usually given to children. If someone has chickenpox, it’s best to stay at home to avoid spreading the virus to others.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Can chickenpox cause shingles later in life?

Yes. After recovery, the varicella-zoster virus stays dormant in the body. It can reactivate years later as shingles (herpes zoster), a painful rash often in older adults.

Can a vaccinated person still get chickenpox?

Yes, but it’s rare. Breakthrough cases tend to be mild, with fewer blisters and low or no fever.

Can chickenpox spread through clothing or surfaces?

It spreads primarily through airborne droplets and direct contact with lesions, not via clothing. However, contaminated surfaces may carry the virus briefly.

Should adults get the chickenpox vaccine?

Adults who’ve never had chickenpox or the vaccine should consider getting vaccinated, especially if they’re in close contact with children or are planning pregnancy.
